An injection molding machine is the heart of any injection molding plant. It is the essential machine in a plastic injection molding company because the plastic pellets are melted and manually fed into the device, injecting the molten material into one or more cavities and forming the plastic part. Injection molding machines do an excellent job of saving time and money, which makes them even more popular with many people. You have to be aware that it’s not that hard to start with low prices, but as your business scales, you will have to make a lot of constant changes. Any injection molding machine is always limited in technology, such as clamping force, mold size, etc.
All electric injection molding machines are a more suitable solution for the injection molding of ultra-precision plastic parts. According to our customer feedback, electric drives can reduce position deviations by up to 40% compared to hydraulic systems under the same load. The intelligent servo drive architecture on the Topstar all electric injection molding machine reduces… Continue reading What kind of positioning accuracy can an all electric injection molding machine achieve?
A standalone injection molding machine cannot operate optimally without a complete set of auxiliary equipment to handle material conditioning, temperature control, and waste management, which are critical to a stable and productive molding cycle. Generally speaking, seven key auxiliary equipment are required for each large injection molding machine installation, including mold temperature controllers, chillers, material… Continue reading What auxiliary equipment does a large injection molding machine need?
Precision injection molding machines are capable of producing parts with micro-tolerances. This micro-precision tolerance (usually ±0.01 mm or less) is crucial for the production of products such as medical devices, micro-optical devices, and precision connectors. Such precision injection molding machines utilise electric drives to achieve ultra-precision motion, employ low-damping injection units to provide sensitive pressure… Continue reading How to achieve micro-precision tolerances with precision injection molding machines?
Working with hydraulic injection molding machines is prone to injection molding defects such as warpage, material shortages, and dents, which can be reduced by switching to all electric injection molding machines. They are electrically driven and can provide tighter control over every stage of the entire process. At the same time, all electric injection molding… Continue reading What defects of injection molding can the all electric injection molding machine solve?
When pursuing the goal of increasing the output of plastic molding machines during injection molding, one key factor that needs improvement is the injection rate. The injection rate is the speed at which the molten resin is pressed into the mold, and it is also one of the key factors that determine the cycle time… Continue reading How to increase the injection rate of plastic molding machines?
Deviation loads are often encountered when operating large injection molding machines, where unexpected lateral forces cause the injection cylinder to deviate from its center. These loads can originate from uneven melt pressure in the injection molding machine, inconsistent clamping force, or slight wear of the guide components. When the molten plastic rushes into one side… Continue reading How to avoid the deviation load of a large injection molding machine?
When hydraulic pressure drops in an injection molding machine, it can result in incomplete mold filling and inconsistent part dimensions. Therefore, our operators need to understand the root cause of the hydraulic pressure drop and take corresponding measures. Then, we will analyze the root cause from the perspective of the injection molding machine manufacturer. First,… Continue reading Analysis of the root cause of the hydraulic pressure drop of the injection molding machine
